Jordan Eberle wasn't suprised by being traded to the New York Islanders.

In fact, Eberle reiterated to the Edmonton Sun that it's "unlikely" that a player remains with one team for the entirety of a career. On Tuesday, Eberle stood opposite the Edmonton Oilers, the team that drafted him at the 2008 NHL Draft. It was the first time he went head-to-head with the Oilers.

With the Islanders trailing Edmonton 1-0, Isles forward Mat Barzal corralled the puck away from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Barzal then dropped the puck back to Eberle who proceeded to place the shot past Oilers goaltender Cam Talbot.
